Could the U. S. make giants from the north?

Montana has the tallest population. Average is 5'10.7". Montana could give out incentives for men and women over 6'6" to move there and have tall families. And we can finally have giants of the north.

Interesting idea, but it wouldn’t work the way you imagine.

Height is influenced by many genes plus environment (nutrition, health, childhood conditions). Even if Montana attracted very tall people, you’d see:

- Some taller-than-average local families
- But lots of genetic variation: many kids would still be “normal” height
- Over time, mixing with the general U. S. population would dilute the effect

Also, deliberate “breeding for height” raises serious ethical issues. Better to focus on health, nutrition, and opportunity—not creating “giants.”

yes, but see Montana already has those in place. we just need to boost the gene pool threw selective breeding. remove the shorties and replace them with tallest of our nation.

Maybe just annex Alberta, Canadian men can get pretty tall. 😎
